10 people shot following altercation on boat in South Carolina, police say
Ten people were shot and at least one other person was injured when a holiday weekend gathering on a charter boat in a South Carolina coastal community turned violent, according to police.
Some of those injured in the shooting in Little River on Sunday were in critical condition as of Monday morning, Horry County police said, without specifying how many. Detectives were trying to determine who was responsible for the shooting, police said; no names were released and no arrests were immediately announced.
The shooting stemmed from an altercation on during a private Memorial Day weekend gathering on the charter boat in Little River, a community of about 11,000 people situated along the Intracoastal Waterway near the North Carolina state line, police said.
Police didn't say whether the shooting happened on the boat, which they said was docked at the time of the incident. Details about what led to the altercation weren't immediately available.
Eleven people were taken to hospitals, police said. Besides the 10 who were shot, one person 'reported an unknown non-gunfire-related injury,' police said.
According to The Associated Press, a flyer online advertised a party Sunday night with a DJ on a three-hour cruise ending at 9 p.m. A woman who answered a phone number on the flyer early Monday said she was distraught seeing her friends get shot but then said she didn't want to talk any more and hung up, according to the AP.
Someone who answered the phone at the company that owns the boat said he didn't want to talk to a reporter, according to the AP.
Little River is roughly 20 miles northeast of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Former Bengals cornerback Adam 'Pacman' Jones arrested for disorderly conduct outside Cincinnati
Former NFL cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones was arrested near Cincinnati on Friday night, per multiple reports. Jones, who was best known for his time with the Cincinnati Bengals, was charged with public intoxication, disorderly conduct and assault of an officer. Jones was booked in Kenton County Jail, just outside of Cincinnati, just before 2 a.m. He was released Saturday on $100,000 bond, and has a court appearance scheduled for Monday. Advertisement Additional details of his arrest have not been reported. Jones was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in 2005 as the sixth overall pick out of West Virginia, and later went on to play eight seasons with the Bengals. But his NFL career was often marred by legal issues: Jones had a series of off-field incidents, including involvement in a shooting in Las Vegas, in his first two years in the league. As a result, Jones was eventually suspended by the league for the 2007 season, essentially marking the beginning of the league's personal conduct policy. Jones officially retired from the NFL in 2019, but his legal troubles continued. Just before his retirement, Jones was arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct in a casino in Indianapolis. In 2021, he was charged with assault in Hamilton County, OH after punching and kicking someone in the head until they were unconscious. Advertisement Jones was also arrested in 2023 after an incident on a plane, and was charged with misdemeanor alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct and terroristic threatening. However, the former cornerback denied those charges, saying at the time that he was just requesting a different seat so he could charge his iPad. He was also arrested last November after the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul boxing match in Arlington, Texas, and charged with public intoxication, assault on a peace officer, evading arrest and resisting arrest.
